Who knows what he could do with better players. But still finished 8th last season and 7th the season before. Whereas we had a brutal season after November and still finished 6th.

E6 Inc Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 If we had appointed Robinson a couple of days after Levein was binned then he would have been in charge for almost a month and I can guarantee we would be in a better place then where we are now. And I highly doubt we would have been 3 nil down within 16 mins at Killie. And people would not be as angry with Budge or the rest of the board.

The point on the players is spot on. The shambolic approach on the footballing side will be felt most there. Is it a massive surprise you would fail on the back of your acting manager being absent? Also, if you consider we signed Whelan, Perreira and Meshino for this season only then the fact it is a virtual write off in November is even more alarming. New manager has a lot to consider on thinking about what the squad looks like in the future after the survival question is addressed.

BigC Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Just saw this. Very little in the way of details. The coverage implies that he was out with his family, I’m guessing at the Xmas market based on the location of the incident. If I had to guess, he’s probably tried to get in a cab and someone has nicked it off him & there’s been a scuffle. All the above is conjecture on my part. Nobody injured so I’d expect a slap on the wrist at worst, if it even gets to court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51137769 Quote Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson is to stand trial next month accused of assaulting his partner. Robinson, 45, appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday charged with allegedly grabbing Robyn Lauchlan and pinning her against a fence at the city's Waverley Bridge. He also faces a breach of the peace allegation relating to the incident on 13 December. The Northern Irishman has pled not guilty to both charges. "I continue to deny any wrongdoing and look forward to having the chance to clear my name at trial," Robinson said in a statement. He is alleged to have assaulted Ms Lauchlan by seizing her by the body, pushing and pulling her by the body and pushing her back and pinning her against a fence or similar at Waverley Bridge, Edinburgh, on 13 December. Robinson is also accused of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting, swearing and acting in an aggressive manner during the same incident. In a statement last month, Police Scotland confirmed nobody was injured during the "disturbance". The Fir Park manager, who has been in charge of the Scottish Premiership's third-placed side for three years, will appear for another hearing next month with his trial scheduled for 27 February. A spokesperson for Motherwell said: "Motherwell Football Club is fully aware of the circumstances of the alleged incident and the not guilty plea made by Stephen. "We will respect the legal process and refrain from making further comment at this time." Edited January 16, 2020 by Footballfirst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
